If anything the Springbok has been a unifying source of pride to this country, Luke can go to hell, if he feels so strongly about the bok jersey he should voluntarily give it to one of the many players of colour who would proudly wear it.

"I would say to those communities who feel that the Springbok shouldn't be anywhere on the jersey that the Springbok is a national animal in the same way that the King Protea is the national flower, the Blue Crane is the national bird and the Baobab is the national tree," he said.
